Pennsylvania Technical Assistance Program

PennTAP’s Response to COVID-19

Based on statewide mitigation plans announced by Gov. Tom Wolf around the growing coronavirus pandemic and the global efforts underway to stop its spread, and in alignment with federal recommendations to practice social distancing, PennTAP is suspending all in-person consulting appointments and events through the end of April. We are taking precautions to protect the health and well-being of our clients, employees, and local community. PennTAP will continue to offer virtual consulting services to clients. Contact us at penntap@psu.edu for more information. We will update this site as guidelines continue to evolve. Please visit the official Penn State site psu.edu/virusinfo for the latest information regarding the University’s response.

The Pennsylvania Technical Assistance Program (PennTAP) at Penn State is a federal, state, and University partnership to stimulate statewide economic development. PennTAP helps organizations maximize their competitiveness through in-person consultations, unbiased technical advice, and connections to Penn State experts, resources, and programs.
